The
Novels Holdings of the Thomas Hardy Collection at Dorset County Library,
Dorchesterby Birgit Plietzsch

Note:

The Thomas Hardy Collection consists of a large
number of editions of Hardy's works and a huge variety of writings about
Hardy. The list below only reflects the novels editions of this collection
and is mainly based on A Catalogue of the Works of Thomas Hardy in Dorchester
Reference Library compiled by Charles P.C. Pettit (1984). In August
1998 I compared the current novels holdings of this collection with Pettit's
catalogue and added those editions that have been purchased by the Dorset
County Library in the meantime.
